Concern

Fire may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the grid heaters fitted to vehicles with EEV emission standard may suffer malfunctions or failures irrespective of the vehicles being in motion or parked. Unless addressed there is a risk of current leakage in the control head of the grid heater which could result in a short circuit. Should this occur the casting compound could melt and create a smouldering fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

As a temporary measure the grid heater will be deactivated.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
